[Spacewalk-list] problem provisioning a VM through spacewalk

[Bill Gunter]

I've been trying to initiate a kickstart on a Xen host and running into a 
problem. I've tried this with both Spacewalk 2.0 and 2.1 (installed just 
today).  rhn_check -vvvv is throwing this:

D: logininfo:{'X-RHN-Server-Id': 1000010670, 'X-RHN-Auth-Server-Time': 
'1393952210.29', 'X-RHN-Auth': 'P/qYAiT/RnrstqsawvaYqA==',

D: Attempt to call an unsupported action 
kickstart_guest.initiate('kyle.natinst.com', 'viola:1:destiny1', 'xenfv', 
44, 'destiny1', 2048, 7, 50, 'xenbr0', '/var/lib/xen/images/destiny1', ' 
')
D: Sending back response(6, 'Invalid function call attempted', {})

I checked /usr/share/rhn/actions/kickstart_guest.py on the host (from 
spacewalk-koan-2.1.4-1.el5) and see that the import of kickstart_guest is 
remmed out:

import sys

rhnpath="/usr/share/rhn"
if rhnpath not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(rhnpath)

#from rhnkickstart import kickstart_guest
from spacewalkkoan import spacewalkkoan

Why is spacewalk asking the host to run something that seems to be 
deprecated?
